NAME
suexec - Switch user before executing external programs
SYNOPSIS
suexec -V
SUMMARY
suexec is used by the Apache HTTP Server to switch to another user before executing CGI
programs. In order to achieve this, it must run as root. Since the HTTP daemon normally
doesn't run as root, the suexec executable needs the setuid bit set and must be owned by
root. It should never be writable for any other person than root.
For further information about the concepts and the security model of suexec please refer
to the suexec documentation (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/suexec.html).
OPTIONS
-V If you are root, this option displays the compile options of suexec. For security
reasons all configuration options are changeable only at compile time.
